President Trump weighs in on border upgrades

The President weighed in on the progress being made on the replaced border barriers that are going up along the southern border.

President Trump tweeted Monday night saying in part, ” We have replaced many miles of old Barrier with powerful new Walls! ”

When we rip down and totally replace a badly broken and dilapidated Barrier on the Southern Border, something which cannot do the job, the Fake News Media gives us zero credit for building a new Wall. We have replaced many miles of old Barrier with powerful new Walls!
